“IMCI” originally stood for "Integrated Management of Childhood Illness”, which has since been changed to "Integrated Management of Childhood Health". It refers to a broad WHO/UNICEF initiative that was launched globally in 1995 with the objective of reducing under-5 mortality, morbidity and disability, and improving child growth and development.
The initiative challenges the traditional disease-specific approach to illness by adopting a more integrated approach in line with the philosophy of primary health care.
